I had the pleasure of meeting this hero.

His tolerance for bullshit was close to zero.

Volcker served as Chairman of the Fed

Faithfully helping the nation, no matter who led.

The pillars of democracy? Yes, we need ‘em!

So Donnie must stop jeopardizing our freedom.

I have to admit it’s an interesting vid

By Piers Morgan who makes the bid

That Donnie exists due to backlash

Against the truly annoying and big stash

Of liberal whining and the superior air

Of people who only pretend to care.

So this banana was taped to a wall,

A safe place to prevent a slip and fall.

Not that damage was fully prevented –

People paid a price that was demented.

The attention it got raged unabated.

Until a dude passed by and ate it…!

You have to wonder what they’re thinking,

These financial advisors must be drinking.

The intent, it seems, is to discuss a plan

That reveals to the kids they’re in a rich clan.

But at that age could they comprehend it?

My money talk is: “Hey kids, don’t spend it!”

A Burt Reynolds movie from the 80s

Explored all the fun and the sexy ladies.

Turns out to win it takes different skills,

With more focus on planning than the thrills.

Of course it’s illegal and we shouldn’t feed it.

But man it’s fun that these bandits succeeded.

I know their intent is much more noble

And their mission no doubt is highly global.

But one sure benefit of this movement

Would be the instant path to improvement

For learning those languages complicated by

The fact that every word is a girl or a guy!

The dystopian world he described

In a speech in which he prescribed

A policy of putting “America first”

To avoid becoming the world’s worst

Was a surprise to all with eyes and ears

Since America has been great for many years.

Here are world leaders at the NATO Summit.

Each has seen their popularity plummet.

And so it seems, as though with mean girls,

They’re now going to enjoy their little pearls

Of gossip about the Cheer Squad Captain,

A bee-otch who rules the world we’re trapped in.

Sometimes the world spins off its axis,

With violence and storms and higher taxes.

Often these things are beyond our control

But from time to time we dig our own hole…

Teens should not stress over corporate stock!

What happened to daydreams, and an old tube sock?

You sure won’t get any arguments from me

And I’m happy that people are starting to see

The mystery of rhymes go deep and go far –

We hardly know what all their powers are!

But it seems they’re a part of the healing art,

And that’s a pretty sweet place to start…
